  Howdy guys! I was wondering if it is possible to have our picking list separated
into New and Used But still be in order of item number? For example, all the
new would be at the top of the list but be in the correct item number order,
then the used (in correct order) would be after the new. It would be soooo helpful
since the New and Used are obviously in different places in our physical stores.
Yikes, dare I say this BUT, that is how Brickowl does it and it is just much,
much easier to pull.
thanks for lending an ear

Change the sorting below the order details page

I know what you mean OP. From where I sit, there is no option for "condition,
then number". For myself I would love "condition, remarks, number" .

I also notice that my spreadsheet doesn't sort 123 and 123a in the right
order so I have to take an extra step to make that work.

Another reason that this is important is that many online order/shipping management
programs sync with Stripe Relay and not just payments processed through Stripe.
This means that orders paid for with Stripe have to have shipping labels created
manually.

Good suggestion!

With instant checkout coming in the near future, please upgrade the Stripe integration
to perform validation checks between the buyer address and the credit card records.

Also upgrade Stripe so that API is used versus only submitting the user name.

Thank you,
Jacob

I'll pile on, as well...

We appreciate all of the hard work on the new design, but there is certain functionality
that is lacking, or at least less obvious. I always start with the new design,
but find myself going back to the Classic view every time.

Quick example: in the Classic view, if I added part #61190d to my WL, and wanted
to change it to 61190e (or change from one color to another), I could do that
easily by editing the record itself. In the new version, I don't see a way
other than to add the new item and remove the old. Is it that a big deal? No,
but it's indicative.

Please keep the classic view!

Darren

  Hello Everyone,

In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.

Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.

The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017.
At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support

Now that everything minifigure is dual sided, the pictures have effectively halved
in size. Also, the description on the page is large, and picture small (in a
store).

Ebay has gone to bigger pictures (free) which tends to prove they work. Can
we allocate more space to pictures?

Yes, this needs to be implemented. I do have a separate wanted list for every
set as well.

  Hi, when using the BUY NOW feature of the wanted list, it shows me the stores
but not:
a) condition of the item (new / used)
b) what the price is in each store

b) is available if you open a WL (just to look at it), and click “More Options”
and then “Items for Sale: Show” and “Apply” (beware the default sort “by store
name”).

(It’s like in the Old/Classic WL’s feature to show stores. “Buy” works like “By
Shop,” where prices and items weren’t shown either.)

  Instead I see a "minimum purchase" total.

So you have to go to each store and check, or to the price guide, which doesn't
make a quick buy that quick.

If you “select” a store, a dialog appears with all the items in the store, their
prices and conditions. You can then cancel or actually select the store.

(You can also just click in the store’s line, it will show what items in your
WLs are available in the store, and in what quantities, in the item list on the
left by outlining the pictures.)

You still have to check the price guide yourself though.

There was a feature that gave a “percentage relative to the price guide,” in
red for overpriced items, in green for better priced items. It was removed. It
didn’t work well though.

  Could we change this?

“We?” No. BrickLink? I doubt they would.

Yes please.

This has been mentioned multiple times and should already have been added.
They want us to use the Auto-Finder or Buy Now feature.

I voted yes bc some hips are good for customs but legs too ornate, ie this is
a belt on hips.

Agreed. I'm definitely for having and being able to add to the Unreleased
Sets section, so I support that part of the suggestion. I question the wisdom,
however, of adding inventories for unreleased sets.

I don't believe anyone wants to pretend they were official sets, but the
Unreleased Sets section of the BrickLink catalog is very useful since many of
them have official LEGO set images:

 
Set No: 6500  Name: Holiday Village
* 
6500-1 Holiday Village
1996
Sets: Town: Classic Town
Unreleased

Having the images in the catalog is one thing, creating inventories and selling

There is already a large list of unreleased sets on bricklink. There is no reason

most complete Lego database. (Otherwise, what's the point to even having
the current list???)

And there is no reason why people should not be able to buy and sell these sets

Yes, the catalog adminstrators refuse to add more sets to that category when
I have submitted them multiple times. The submission is immediately deleted.

Also, I am not allowed to sell sets in the unreleased category, even if all of
the parts are available and I can make a used set to sell.

If LEGO decided that the sets are not good enough to sell, why should we pretend
they were official sets? Maybe the only place where they belong is in the MOC
shop.

Or am I missing something here?

Are you sure? 4 are used per wing = 8 total.

Pg. 17: four are used for one wing. Then on pg. 35 it shows that you repeat
all the steps from pgs. 16-35 to build the second wing.

Please combine the catalog categories on one category:

Bionicle
Hero Factory
Large Figure Part
(and even a few bionicles parts that are for some reason stuck in the technic
category when they are used for nothing other than bionicles).

Then, sub-divide that category into several smaller categories such as:
Head, Mask, Torso, Limb, Foot, etc.


There is no reason to have these three categories. Large amounts of a part found
in one category is used by another. For example, some Hero Factory parts are
used in more bionicle figures than Hero Factory. And wading through any of those
three categories even in their current state in order to find something is almost
ridiculous.

Please Please Please leave up the old version! I use it all the time and the
new version is nowhere near as useful. It doesn't even work at all! I have
tried to figure out why but I have no idea and I can't imagine other people
who are new to the site would be having an easier time using it either.

I have a suggestion. BrickLink should have all of the users vote on what they
think should be done. It's just my opinion, but I think you guys would be
surprised to see how many people really don't like the new version and want
to stick with the classic version.

You should inform those sellers that they should state fees etc on their Terms
page.

All additional fees other than shipping and insurance must be stated here.
Please keep your terms clear and to the point. Your terms are also displayed
to a buyer on checkout prior to placing an order.


Yes this seems like a poor way to deal with shipping/terms when there is no history
retained. Seems to me that none of their terms should be enforceable with the
way they have configured their store.

Sorry, when I say “don’t take… as proof,” I’m thinking “BL admins ought not to
take… as proof.”

If there’s a problem, only the terms page should serve as proof. If the seller
has only given their policies in their splash page, tough luck, the buyer is
right.

So glad you haven't dropped the good, old Classic Wanted List. So much better
than the new one! Hope you've changed your minds. Please keep it!

  Hello Everyone,

In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.

Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.

The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017.
At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn

Because the new pop up login screen pops up in the middle of the screen is it
disappears under the also popping up keyboard on my mobile phone.

Please consider moving it to the upper right, where it was before.

Thank you.

One thing I have just noticed while logging in, is the new log in method, no
more drop-down (despite the little arrow remaining) and a new little window pops
up.
but takes a good bit longer to load on my computer and/or with my not-so-great
internet. "Old" drop-down was always just about instant. But I can deal with
that.

  
  However, there does not seem to be an equivalent for the previous "go to My BL"
or whatever it said. Requires an extra step now. Can that be added? Just one
small radio button on the dialog box...

Otherwise, great news on attempting to address scammers!

Please, please, please fix this! Having a default sort order of "newest" makes
it really hard to find a wanted list when I have 20+ lists. I can change it to
"alphabetical", but the next time I go back to the wanted lists page it reverted
back to "newest".

Also, once I've set the sort order, having that flow through to everywhere
that wanted lists are displayed in a list would be super awesome!

Most of these fears stem from guessing and assuming the worst. On the other site
with automatic checkout we processed close to 500 orders, with zero chargebacks
or buyers remorse. I firmly believe it will bring way more good than bad. And
if you don't want to do it, you can simply not offer it.

Instant check out requires the BL can calculate shipping cost for all different
shipping methods, in all countries, which is very very very difficult. On top
of that, it requires that weight and dimensions for all parts be accurate, which
they currently are not.

Instant checkout is a sweet daydream. But "We are working on it"

  Hello
Maybe this topic was a long time ago, but I would like to ask if you think that
payment via paypal should be immediate after the order is placed. Many of you
had situations where customers canceled orders after a week / two, did not pay,
and you had other people interested in your products and prices. Should not it
be like many other well-known sites that like to buy something immediately pay
for it (via paypal)? What do you think about that?
(Sorry for my not quite good english)

I prefer items in order accuracy over instant payment at checkout.
NPBs aren't that such a big issue for my store.

I am not a fan of the new wanted list. To much effort for such a simple task
of adding a part. I love the classic version and will continue to use it as long
it is available. Don't see why we can't have both or why the new one
exists in the first place. If it ain't broke don't break it.

The wanted list search page here https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/search.page
does not provide an option to use the "on hand" values in that search.

Scenarios:
Show me all items on all wanted lists where I have a value in the on hand field
Show me all the items of a particular nature where I have a value in the on hand
field
Show me all items where I do not have a value on hand
Show me all items where the value on hand is equal to the qty wanted

The wanted list view at this page https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page?utm_content=subnav
does not remember my search settings and keeps reverting back.

Scenario:
Change the search to by "Completion" and "Down" sort order.
Open a wanted list to review
Hit browser back arrow to return to the page
Reverts to default search settings

Can you please add the ability to save your default search criteria?

Additionally, a filter to only show those with items on hand / not on hand /
not completed / partially completed would be useful

Consider allowing a user preference to exclude the On-Hand quantity of an item
when searching a store for items on the wanted list.
Scenario:
I have multiple wanted lists with a total of 6 of 1x6 white plates on them
I have previously marked two of these plates on one wanted list as "have"
Search a store and locate that item in the store
Bricklink on that item line tells me I have a total of 6 on my wanted list with
2 "on hand"
When I click the Auto-fill min option bricklink places a quantity of 6 as the
minimum on the item.
I would like the option to exclude the on-hand quantity thus placing a quantity
of 4 on the item line.
Logic is that I have 2 on hand, so why would I want 6 more (only need 4 more)

Next Page: 5 More | 10 More | 25 More | 50 More | 100 More
